The thermal decomposition of vinyl alcohol/vinyl acetate copolymers have been studied at p = 10 −2 –10 −4 Torr and T = 0–600°C. The decomposition products (solids, liquids, and gases) have been characterized by infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, gas chromatography, vapor pressure osmometry, and elemental analysis. It has been ascertained on the basis of the obtained data that the decomposition mechanism of the vinyl alcohol/vinyl acetate copolymers depends on the chemical composition and sequence distribution of comonomers.
